      Hello,

      if you are good at SEO and want to launch businesses thanks to your ability to rank high on local searches, what are some good ideas?

      I'm more interested in the market sizes than the difficulties to rank.

      Another important factor is the ease to do the actual business.

      Because of that, I'm looking for ideas like "appartment renting San Diego" because you can create a classifieds ads website where people pay for their listings.

      Another good idea is "marriage photographer New York" because if you have the orders you just need to hire a few free lance photgrapher.

      "car dealearship London" wouldn't work on the other hand because opening a car dealerhip is too costly.

      Thanks a lot!

        EndeR, if you search on Google for https://www.google.com/search?q=marriage+photographer+New+York or your apartment rental keywords, you'll see that the SERPS of today have changed and evolved a lot over the years. Instead of trying to find a niche for a business, that's relatively easy to rank, I would rather concentrate on a niche you have business knowledge of. That way:

        • You understand the business
        • You have trade knowledge that you can apply to the website and
        • You understand your target audience and customer.

        This lets you operate that niche online/offline business much better. Other then that, whatever business you create, as long as you can produce the traffic, whether it's an online classifieds or  an online games website or an online user cars website, traffic = money.

        I hope this helps.

          Hello,

          The cities I've put in my examples are examples. The city I'm going to target is easy to rank for and stable.

          Thanks for your advice, but I will give my ideas a shot as I'm sure we can pull it off. We did it several times already and am just looking for the biggest opportunities.

          I agree with you that traffic means money so if you have specific good keyword ideas, that'd be great.

          Thanks
